there are definitely 27-28 year old zoomers but the lines get blurred obviously lol
at least attempt a specific criticism instead of just being vaguely contrarian it’s annoying
this is an insane thing to post lol it’s like cumtown madlibs or something
level headed take i think. it’s easy to sit at the computer and bemoan conscripts from the previous century when none of us have any idea what we would have done under those conditions.
people on here love to post about how every member of the us military gets the wall or whatever, and i really do get the impulse, but you are straying from materialism at that point. it would be a completely untenable position in a revolutionary situation. to continue the counterfactual, good luck doing a new american revolution with zero troops on board.
it’s a funny movie, but it is definitely anticommunist lol
Patton basically wanted to continue the war of extermination. from Losurdo’s Stalin:
Take the example of general George S. Patton. He dreams of an immediate war against the Soviets: “We will have to fight them sooner or later […]. Why not now while our army is still intact and while we can push all those damn Russians all the way back to Moscow in three months? We could easily do it with the German troops that we have, just arm them and take them with us. They hate those bastards." Unfortunately, according to the American general, it’s the Jews who oppose this project. Full of resentment toward Germany, they harbor sympathy for the USSR: the “evident Semitic influence in the press” aims “to promote communism." There clearly emerges a line of continuity with the Nazi understanding of communism as a subversive Judeo-Bolshevik conspiracy: the enemies continue to be the communists, the Soviets and the Jews, the latter being “lower than animals."
on android firefox and on my linux desktop too
wouldn’t be surprised if she was straight up getting paid to do this shit but it could just as easily be her class position lib brainworms at the wheel
well “the CIA directly and solely” whacked JFK is a very reductive description of what probably happened. it’s like saying “bush did 9/11”
personally i just wouldn’t bother disclosing that i’m trans in the application, is it because you live somewhere where a very negative reaction to that is a strong possibility?
the “intended” way is bs and the backbone of lazy art critique!!! death of the author!!!
thank you for sharing these thoughts:) totally agree it’s a desert out there in terms of trans stories and a lot of them are just tragedies too, we need more radically hopeful/optimistic shit imo.
regarding the “deliberately intended message” … personally for me when it comes to art, authorial intent is literally the last thing on the list of shit that matters about the work. I don’t really care what the intended message of anything is, what matters is what I and others get out of it. how it relates to me. I’m completely death of the author brained. that’s how I personally feel and I know other people can hold very different views when it comes to art which is also valid.
it’s so worth it!!! if you don’t wanna grind it out blindly i recommend just looking up a guide and you can load level checkpoints and blaze through grabbing the hearts. you don’t have to replay the levels in full, you can load a checkpoint, grab the heart, then exit to map. then after ch. 8 you can look into the B-sides… hehehe
to be fair, after bethesda got their hands on the series (and especially by FO4), any of the satirical anti-imperialist or anti-capitalist signifiers have basically been drained of any and all meaning, echoes of echoes of echoes. power armour is the prime example. Noah Gervais spends a bit of time talking about it in his 9 hour fallout retrospective which is a great video if you are interested in the series at all!
i personally think it’s more effective that way. there is a trans flag at the end as a little canon-confirmation which is nice. so madeline is trans in the text. but i prefer the beautifully crafted subtext arc over having text boxes where madeline like talks about trans stuff or whatever (although i totally understand wanting more overtly trans media, i think celeste stands on its own as almost perfect the way it is). i think the amount of trans love for the game affirms that it is effective allegory.
the memorial makes me cry:( yeah i also read the game as broadly an allegory for transitioning and overcoming all the hurdles that come with it, persevering despite it all.
